A Fort Worth lease agreement is a written contract between a tenant and landlord, allowing a tenant to rent a property from the landlord. It outlines each party’s responsibilities and rights, ensuring the tenant can live on the property in exchange for consistent rent payments to the landlord.
Texas Property Code Title 8, Chapter 92 guides landlord-tenant arrangements in Fort Worth. However, landlords can study other city-specific requirements to remain in compliance with local regulations:
If a landlord manages a multifamily dwelling complex with three or more units, they must include a crime-free addendum in each lease agreement (Fort Worth Municipal Code Sec. 7-410).
Fort Worth landlords must issue an adequate warning if they plan to shut off a tenant’s utilities. They should wait at least seven days after the tenant is late on their payment. Then, they should issue a five-day notice stating the exact day they plan to disconnect the utilities.
